Werner’s Remedies

You acknowledge that Werner may be irreparably damaged if this Agreement is not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement by you or someone using your Account, Werner shall be entitled, in addition to all rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, you agree that any action or proceeding with regard to such injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach may be brought where you reside or in the courts of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, or the United States District Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin. You consent to the jurisdiction of such court and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court. You agree that service of any court paper may be effected on such party by mail or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, rules of procedure or local rules.

Governing Law

You agree that: (i) the Site and Services shall be deemed solely based in the State of Wisconsin; and (ii) the Site shall be deemed a passive site that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over Werner, its affiliates and assigns, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than the State of Wisconsin. This Agreement and the relationship between you and Werner is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard for principles of conflicts of laws. Any civil action, claim, dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, except for an injunctive action regarding a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement by you as provided above, shall be brought in the courts of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, or the United States District Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin and you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and forum of the same. Werner’s failure to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
